GAS LIGHT EC0NoNIZER.
An Automatic Portable Gas Werks
that Can Ne Utilised ~
Everybody.

The Memphis Gas Light Economi-
ger Company has established an office
in rear OF the Germsnis Insurance.
Company, at No. 40 Madison street,
where the public can learn all about
the invention. United States Inspect.
or Ford says OF the Gas Economizsr
/ am OF the opinion that,
owing to the consumption OF Hydro.
carbon gas being so much less than
city eaI, with equal illumination, the
atmosphere OF q room In which the
enriched gas is burnt will not become
vitisted as soon as II ordinary gas wa:
used.
The above ia APPLY illustrated by
taking the tests recently made for your
company az q standard OF comparison
1t appears that for every foot of en-
riched gas consumed, only 40 per cent
of that quantity wss city fas; coDse
quently, tie bydro-carbon gas would
only contain 40 per cent. OF the am
moniacal and sulphuTetted vspors ex
listing in 100 parts OF ordinary gas. This
is quite step in the progress towards

The hydro-carbon used in the Econ.
omizsr, to decrease the consumption
aud increase the luminosity OF the city
gas, is free from all injurious sub.
stances, which might, during com.
bustion, prove detrimental to health,
The saving is very large, and that
too, with better illumination. Judg'
ing from the tests made, if five cubic
feet per hour were consumed, you
would obtain from thirty-hve to forty.
FIVE candles.
First Tes;.-The saving made In thi
test, with EconomiEsr In action, ex'
ceeded "a per cent, with handsome
increase in luminosity.
Second Tea.-The saving made in
second test, with Economizer in action,
was so per cent, and the Illumination
obtained was in excess OF ttat fur
ished by city gas.
Third 7est.--The saving in the test
with Economizsr in action, was more
than SO per cent.
The uniformity with which the
hydro carbon is supplied to the gas by
The "EcoDomiEsr" is very desirable
feature. No qualification or supersat.
uration was observable during the
testing
The Economizer furnishes a bright
smokelees and odorless light, some
thing to be desired by housekeepers,
and post esses greater candle power
and more light to the entire foot oil
consumption than the straight city
gas. The Nashville Board of Under.
